DI TONNO from Roccascalegna
The DI TONNO surname in Roccascalegna already appeared in the catasto of 1751 with the same spelling.
Etymology
The surname derives from the Latin "thunnus" (derived from the Greek thynnos), which in Italian became "tonno", that is tuna fish. It is possible, as with many objects and animals, that it became a surname because it first appeared in a coat of arms of one ancestor. About 2 families appear in the 1990's white pages in Roccascalegna.
